Player Notes
January 11, 2010
The Rays have signed Dan Johnson to a one-year, $500,000 deal, according to the St. Petersburg Times' Marc Topkin.

Our View:Johnson, who played last year in Japan, has flashed potential in his past but has never been able to consistently package it together. He'll have a chance to make Tampa Bay's roster as a reserve first baseman and designated hitter.
January 9, 2009
Dan Johnson has inked a one-year deal with the Yokohama BayStars of Japan's Central League, according to Slam Sports. The deal comes out to $1.2 million in U.S. currency.

Our View:Johnson failed to make an impact with the Athletics and Rays, and the 29-year-old will be hoping to fare better with a fresh start in Japan.
December 20, 2008
The Rays are believed to be close to shipping infielder Dan Johnson to Japanese club Yokohama, according to MLB.com. The Rays would receive cash in exchange for Johnson.

Our View:Speaking of first basemen, the Rays remain interested in slugger Jason Giambi.
September 9, 2008
Dan Johnson may have missed his chance to start, but he still managed to shine. He smacked a game-tying homer off Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth inning on Tuesday night. The Rays went on to win 5-4 three batters later.

Our View:It certainly was an interesting day for Johnson, who probably woke up thinking he'd be playing a playoff game for the Durham Bulls.
September 9, 2008
Due to a late arrival, Dan Johnson did not start in left field for the Rays on Tuesday night. The club instead plugged Ben Zobrist into the lineup in center field, moved Gabe Gross to right field, and shifted Eric Hinkse to left, the Tampa Tribune reports.

Our View:The Rays made a late call to move Johnson up from Durham, so this isn't really his fault.
